Welcome to OntoLib’s Documentation¶
OntoLib is a modern Java (version 8 and above) library for working with (biological) ontologies. You can easily load an OBO file into an Ontology object and work with it in your code. Additionally, there is special support for important biological entities such as HPO and GO that make working with them easier by making important sub ontologies and terms more accessible.
Quick Example¶
HpoOntology hpo; try (HpoOboParser hpoOboParser = new HpoOboParser(new File("hp.obo"))) { hpo = hpoOboParser.parse(); } except (IOException e) { System.exit(1); } Ontology<HpoTerm, HpoTermRelation> abnormalPhenoSubOntology = hpo.getPhenotypicAbnormalitySubOntology(); for (TermId termId : abnormalPhenoSubOntology.getNonObsoleteTermIds()) { // ... }
